"Quite frankly, all the players are getting paid too much and all the contracts are too long," general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "But if you want to compete in this market and you want to win, there are some things you have to do."

It'll get fixed. They do roster updates fairly often for the most part. I didn't play last year's game that much though. Not that it matters because no matter what you do the rosters will never be 100% perfect and current until after the trade deadline.

I guess we traded Henrique

Not only that, but Brodeur is still on the team after the time it takes for this kid to play for Chicago, become a star, have a barfight, get traded to NJ for it, become captain and lead us to a Stanley Cup.

The rosters are usually 95% accurate when the game ships. Small stuff and signings that happen after July usually aren't in the game at first. Just surprised they have not taken Kovalchuk out yet. Not to mention when I went and played NHL 14 a few weeks ago they had Kovalchuk as the Devils featured althete in the menu.
EDIT: and on topic with the new game mode, I like the additions. I picked up NBA 2k13 this year and the be a pro in that game had basically everything they added to the NHL 14 be a pro. It was a lot more fun to play than the NHL 13 be a pro. Glad they added this stuff.

IT IS VERY HARD TO WIN ONE STANLEY CUP, FORGET ABOUT THREE... and maybe it's high time some of you actually APPRECIATED THAT instead of treating it like it's some flipping birthright because for some random reason you rooted for the damn Devils!!!!!
